It's a big jump to go from Larry Brown's anti-PG offense to Mike D'Antoni's PG dependent offense.

I think it's a better comparison to look at Felton's last year before Larry Brown came and reeled in Charlotte's offense and slowed it to a grinding halt:

Felton 07-08 in 37 minutes per game:

14.4ppg, 7.2apg, 3.8rebs, 1.2steals, 2.7tos...only big negative is his 28% 3Pfg that year. 41% overall. shot over 4 free throws a game.

i think that's pretty comparable to nash, except the shooting numbers aren't great. under brown, felton shot much better. they played a slower offense though. so, we'll see how he does for MDA. i think he'll be very solid here, but not great.

i'm curious to see some real basketball though.

Now I do get where a PG has a function in this offense. And the pick and roll is a large part of it. However...it's about speed, angles and sharing the ball. Spacing and passing. It's why it's really so comical that everyone insists that we need you need a Nash skill set to run this thing. Everyone on the team should see a higher assist ratio No more Sharrington type play. If AR moves the ball to the open man he'll be fine.

Sir Charles said what? "The game is easy with players that know how to play" (okay that might not be word for word there)

From all accounts Felton plays better D than Nash so... I remember those North Carolina teams. They played a fast pace and Felton shined leading them to a Nat'l Champs iirc I have little doubt he is better suited than Duhon.
